Didn't Bernard King score at least 50 on all three games of a Texas road trip during his peak with the Knicks?

 

It is a big deal, and quite an impressive one at that!

Personally, I'd love for him to make a run for Chamberlain's 100. It's damn near impossible for anyone who's not a center to do it, but I think Kobe could.

Nope, only 2

 

Incredibly well played, sir. Bravo!

 

I can't stand Kobe. Sure, he has a lot of skill, but honestly, who would want to play with him.
Players flock to teams like the Mavs, Spurs, Cavs, Heat and Suns because while there are superstars on the team, they know they won't have to deal with a ball hog like Bryant.
Nobody is rushing to join the Lakers anymore.

 

Someone who is hungry for a title -- probably their last chance for a title.

 

And, funny enough, Wilt AVERAGED 50 a game in that 1961-62 season. (And 25 rebounds, so he was a 50-25 guy almost every night.)

Another fun fact: A regulation NBA game is 48 minutes, but Wilt averaged 48.5 minutes per game that year. That's because the 76ers played 10 overtime games and Wilt never left the floor — he went the distance in 79 games and rested only 8 minutes ALL SEASON.

 

I think he fouled out of those games -- or at least most of them.

 

Wilt never fouled out in his career -- if I remember right.

 

I stand corrected.

 

And 50 more for Kobe tonight.

 

He's still not the MVP.
